The original British series is fabulous. I watched its episodes back to back via Netflix streaming and then found this Netflix original and watched it the same way. It's so much better to watch everything back to back than to have stuff dribbled out weekly. Spacey was his five star self. Weak link was Robin Wright. She exudes no chemistry with anybody. The scenes with her, whether they involved her husband (Spacey) her lover, or females, were lame and interrupted the pace and interest.
